For display files this means that I want to put all screen constants with text in them into a data base file, which can then be loaded using the *Inzsr routine in the RPG programs.
Use the MSGCON or MSGID DDS keyword and let the system do the work for you.
Printouts are defined using RPG O specs. I am looking into using the same concept I as I want to use for the display files.
Convert to DDS and use MSGCON. Other benefits will ensue too. There are third-party tools to do conversion. See http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/199904/msg00427.html
The process is quite a handfull to do manually, so I am looking for an automated way to do this. The most cumbersome thing for me to do is to extract all literals. This means I need to read all source files with DDS specs, and then determine which lines contain a literal, and also take care of the continuation lines.
Does anyone care to share such a utility, if it does exist at all?
There are some third-party tools to do this. See http://www.navan.co.uk/
